Certainly, there were countless of horrors spawned by the Transmuter Wars of the early 7th century. However, there were none worse than the disgusting shapechangers known as fetches. Loikiel, unhappy with the freewill his doppelgangers possessed, created fetches to act as covert agents in his armies. Outrageously evil, the creatures would infiltrate humanoid and danaavrakti fortresses, absorb their numbers, and move on to the next location like locusts. Difficult to control, Loikiel commanded his servants to destroy the fetches before they could get out of hand. Of course, some escaped into The Wither. Today, these horror continue to haunt the wasteland and its humanoids.

Gnoll Companions. Interestingly, fetches refuse to absorb gnolls. For this reason, they often work along side the hyena-humanoids. When gnolls find a particular village or fortress to be a particularly tough "nut to crack", the war chiefs will send a fetch into the camp to lower its defenses from within.

Dulon-Blooded. Pexian aberrationists theorize that Loikiel created the original fetches using blood from dulons, the progenitors of all life on Casar. If true, this implies that fetches might still retain the memories of the dulons from which they were created.
